cli: Copy global configuration profile to personal as with the GUI

If a configuration profile is requested on the command line that
does not exist as a personal profile but does exist as a global
profile, copy it to the personal directory and use it, the same
as when selecting a global profile in the GUI.

Add the same feature to tshark and tfshark as well, where it
is particularly useful.
